Election night
They won, but not by much. We did better than we've done since 1998, and that's good.
Good.
GOOD.
Paul Martin just quit as Liberal leader. Can't say that upsets me too much.
I was worried this morning...now I don't feel great but I feel a whole lot better, just the same.

Viva beisbol!
"Update your damn blog" they said. So I did, and I changed my picture and everything. I put a little note about Cuba being barred from the World Baseball Classic because of stupid American politics.
About 12 hours later, Cuba is in! I should write about more stuff that pisses me off...
Anyway, it's cool that they get to play, but still not cool that the US is causing such pain and grief in my favourite little Island Nation. The US is worried about Cubans making money...Cuba is donating any money they might have made off this event to U.S. victims of Hurricane Katrina! Talk about who's the better neighbour...
I love that - "the spirit of the sanctions" Quite from the Miami Herald, by the way (link). It seems the US may still be violating the Olympic charter, it's about cycling this time though.

''Working closely with World Baseball Classic, Inc., and the State Department, we were able to reach a licensable agreement that upholds both the legal scope and the spirit of the sanctions,'' Molly Millerwise, a Treasury Department spokeswoman said, reading from a prepared statement.

Happy New Year Already
I'm going on a trip to the nation's capital, and I'll be there for the election. I think I should go to the Mayflower and watch Canada fall apart. Or the Aloha Room. Mmmmm...Ottawa.
Also, I have retired Roger Clemens' photo in favour of the Cuban flag. It really bothers me that the US government won't let Cuba play in the World Baseball Classic. Some world tourney. You can still see the old photo here.
It's pretty rad that baseball season starts in March this year.
Rad is such a great word.
